Automatic Transmission Down Shifts Hard

I have a 1999 Civic LX W/4 speed Automatic. when I slow down the tranny down shifts quite hard on its own. I am just wondering if this is normal or a sign of trouble too come. I have only had the car for about a month so I don't know if it has always done this. I hope it is just the norm.
